Overview
- Kim Gottwald, who stopped Monday after 58 rounds and about 388 km, withdrew from the Go One More backyard ultra in Texas.
- He was taken for medical checks at a nearby hospital, and a photo shared on Instagram showed him receiving an IV with a note saying he is okay and undergoing tests.
- His trainer said he was dehydrated, overheated, and unable to keep down food after nearly 58 hours in punishing conditions of extreme heat and heavy rain.
- Gottwald had targeted 100 rounds to become the youngest athlete to hit that mark, a goal he had built toward after 57 rounds last year and a 67‑round win at his own event.
- The race continues without him, with Mark Dowdle and Kendall Picado Fallas surpassing 67 rounds as of Monday afternoon.
